What inspires me to create my work is my culture, my country, the richness of traditions and colors I had when I was a child in Mexico; all the wonderful memories of my childhood in Chiapas.
I was blessed to live in a lot of different states in Me...

- About Me:
- With over 40 years of painting and teaching experience, my art has been shown worldwide. I am a painter addicted to making assemblage and art dolls... a student of mystical traditions, Sacred art and Shamanism, where I find inspiration for my Spirit Dolls. I have 3 muses by my side, my nana Maria, la Virgen de Guadalupe and Frida Kahlo.
My favorite artist date is to the the Dollar store, Thrift Store and garage sales where I find amazing treasures (everything I can do to recycle) rusted metal, old keys, kitchen gadgets, fabrics and vintage beads...they become part of my stash and that is why my studio is such a "cuchitril".
My totems or power animals are the dragonfly, crow and wolf.
I adore skulls, they are symbolic of transformation, Dia de los Muertos is a main theme for my dolls.
I like what Isabel Allende said in one of her books:
" There is no death, daughter. People die only when we forget them,' my mother explained shortly before she left me. 'If you can remember me, I will be with you always."

Have you noticed 11:11 ?
I think from here on you will notice even more :)
Someone wrote that 11:11 - The bridge or transitional zone between the old energy world of duality and the New Energy world of Oneness.
A kind of wake-up reminder, a call of the highest order, as confirmation that one's spiritual awareness/ awakening journey is right on track.
Of course it could be any other symbol, number or sign, it is just a way to remember, to notice something we forgot, or something we did not notice before.
I wish for you… Continue
